DRAMATIC LAKE VIEWS, exceptional privacy, and a true connection to nature define this custom-built two-story home with a 2-bedroom carriage house on 5.98 acres. Offering 3 bedrooms plus a den, this thoughtfully designed residence captures the essence of peaceful rural living. A paved driveway welcomes you to the property, where a spacious foyer opens to an expansive living and dining area with vaulted ceilings, a natural gas fireplace, and a wall of windows that flood the home with natural light. The kitchen features a large island, gas range, warming oven, granite countertops, abundant cabinetry, pantry, and roll-out freezer. A bright family room leads to over 600 sq ft of patio space. The main-floor primary suite includes a walk-in closet and ensuite with double sinks, soaker tub, tiled walk-in shower, and heated floors. Also on the main level are a den/office, laundry room, and powder room. Upstairs, a bridge-style hallway with skylights overlooks the living space below and connects two spacious bedrooms and a full bath. Above the detached 3-bay garage, the carriage house offers over 800 sq ft in a non-conforming 2-bedroom suite, ideal for extended family or guests. Additional features include a storage shed, 50' x 8' covered front porch, 13 kW backup generator, private trails, nearby Syphon Falls, and a convenient location just 15 minutes from the city center.

Local Due Diligence & Property Realities

Daily experience varies significantly by neighbourhood. The downtown and harbourfront core offers genuine walkability with local shops and dining, but higher-elevation neighbourhoods like Hillcrest or Raven shift toward vehicle dependency and distinct winter challenges. Because of elevation change, hillside neighbourhoods often receive substantially more snow than lake-level areas. While upland districts offer larger lots and proximity to schools, they require comfort with steep winter commutes and the necessity of private snow clearing on steep driveways. The city's urban boundaries are tightly constrained by protected Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) farmland, creating a reality where modern subdivisions sit directly adjacent to active agricultural operations. Residents must navigate "Right to Farm" provisions, which prioritize agricultural production — meaning seasonal smells, noise, and dust from farming operations are a practical consideration.
